Actuators improve precision in sprayers
Optimizing output from crop fields in modern agriculture requires intelligent equipment. In addition, regulations to protect the environment require sprayers to be able to fertilize soil according to mapped soil quality indicators. So-called ‘precision farming’ also includes spraying of herbicides and pesticides in vineyards or fruit groves. With LINAK electric actuators, the equipment becomes even more intelligent and gains advantages like:
- Improved precision farming with intelligent solutions
- Maintenance-free actuators, easy to install
- Thoroughly tested actuators with a long lifetime
In modern agriculture care for the environment and a focus on cost-efficiency go hand in hand. By being able to map soil quality and adjust the amount of fertilizers and herbicides in the crop field, farmers can reduce costs significantly and, at the same time, satisfy the regulations set by authorities to protect the environment. Electric actuators assist the sprayers of tomorrow by creating intelligent movement of nozzles and extendable arms.
Integrate actuators with the control system
LINAK actuators provide precise position feedback. The intelligent interface integrates with almost any type of control system. Combining position data with GPS tracking and soil quality indicators, the system is able to allocate sprayer content precisely to specific areas. This is the essence of precision farming.
Enjoy a no-maintenance solution which is easy to install
Electric actuator solutions have no hoses or need for compressors and pumps. This eliminates potential weak spots and makes maintenance unnecessary. It also means solutions are significantly easier to install or to replace in the event of damage. In other words, potential downtime is reduced to a minimum.
Rely on thoroughly tested products
Conditions in the crop field are often harsh. Mud, water and the sprayer content take their toll on the equipment and corrosion is a real threat to the materials. At LINAK, all actuators are run through a thorough regime of durability tests to make sure they can cope with all sorts of strains and remain fully operational throughout their lifetime.
